Chris Matthews: ‘Bloodthirsty’ Delegates Ready to ‘Kill’ Clinton

[See NewsBusters for more.] Yeah, he went there. According to Hardball host Chris Matthews on Tuesday night, “bloodthirsty” Republican delegates are ready to “kill” Hillary Clinton. The MSNBC journalist was unhappy at GOP convention attendees for chanting, “lock her up.” Talking to Jonathan Capehart, he haltingly ranted, “And I get the feeling, he [Chris Christie] wanted — if they had said, ‘kill her now,’ it was almost that bloodthirsty.” Referencing “sword and sandals” movies such as Gladiator, Matthews made a thumbs down sign and added, “The audience always as requested, responded with the verdict of guilty. And they said it in a blood curdling way every time.”
